ECC is any decayed tooth on a patient younger than what age?

  1. 6

  2. 5

  3. 7

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 6

Early Childhood Caries (ECC) refers to tooth decay in young children, particularly those younger than 6 years old. At this stage, children are most vulnerable to tooth decay due to factors like poor oral hygiene, frequent consumption of sugary foods, and inadequate exposure to fluoride. Therefore, it is crucial to establish good oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits to prevent ECC and promote good oral health from an early age. Option B (5), Option C (7), and Option D (4) are incorrect as they do not represent the age group typically associated with ECC.
